Re: Any Architects out there ?

Most architects charge a % of the cost of building the home; usually 5% or more. Various services, such as builder supervision can be extra, or can be contracted for. Some architects include the structural engineering, some don't. I believe the AIA website at aia.org has a standard contract and lists of architects.

You might note that current construction costs for architect-designed custom homes run from around $150/sf on up, with most running probably $300/sf. $150 is really cheap for this class of home.
